You can have a 4 or 5 foot plant in a 3 gal container, but i would still get the bigger one so mary can spread her roots.
when my plant finished veg it was a foot tall and extremely root bound in the 3 or 5 gallon black bin it was in. i put it into like a 15 gal container after that. i say a you should probably get 2 gal of container size for every ft. your plant is tall.

hmm its going to be super tight in there for twelve but you can do it. Please don't go into it expecting monster colas, at best you will have a shit ton of pop corn buds if you allow time in veg.
Also does your box have any ventilation?
I am new to black light but a 150watt equivalent cfl will not have enough light for the 12. If you can maybe have 6or8 23 watt CFL to extend the penetrating light range.
My advice is start doing your research, it will take you a year to get started if you don't do your reading and just wait for answers to your questoins. LST & 12/12 from seed would be a good start . On these threads you can see how micro grow works and the basics behind it. Good luck

Hi fella,

I have 3 tents

Tent 1 = 6 plants in 11 litre square pots, in 3rd week flower after 4 week veg, buds started showin in 2nd week, still small though.. Used Ionic Grow, Bloom, Boost..
Tent 2 = 5 Plants in same pots, 2nd week flower, after 5 weeks veg.. Buds just startin, same nutes etc..
Tent 3 = 1 Mother, which I was going to kill after clones failed.. Light was off for 3 days, an no water was given, then thought I would try an bring her back an leave to go on own in whole tent, see how big she goes, lol..

Anyway my questions are, I am planning on it being ready in tent 1 after 6 weeks flower that right?? When 80% of the things are brownish??

Been reading up alot, learnt loads of ere..

I think my mother will survive, its only been 2 days since light went back on, yellownish has started going quite quick, an greenish leaves are back like..

I am a novice grower, 1st time.. So I wanna find out the best way for me to get best yeild, tryed different things with regards to nutes, all noted down lol
Do you think there will be much difference in 4 week veg, to 5 week veg??

Nice one if you answer anything lol

KEEP SMOKIN!!
42 days of flowering sounds pretty damned short.
80% of thingies turning brownish..Do you mean hairs or tricomes? 80% of hairs may be ok, but watching the tricomes is a better option. If you search this thead, Masterofgenetics gave a good breakdown on tric color. The trics (crystals) go through stages from clear to amber and darker. Clear trics are probably too early, cloudy to amber is when most would harvest. The darker the tric, the more couch-lock will show. Cloudy is a more heady high. It is going to depend on the strain as well, indicas are more body stone while sativas are more in the head. So maybe havest indicas when cloudy and sativas when amber. If you know your strains do some searching on them, like when people like to harvest the specific strain. Searching around here will give you more detailed info that I can provide.
If you are looking for the most yield, your trics will be very dark and the plant will be damned near dead to ensure they have packed on all the bud they can, but again, this will affect the high...

good luck, post pics

You probably don't want your plants to touch - mold issues. And as Be More Curious said - you will need good ventilation. I would have to suggest looking up Sea of Green (SOG) to see how others have grown shitloads of plants in tiny areas. Blacklight? ...search on that issue as well... not sure if this is what you were saying but a blacklight should only be used sparingly in addition to a 'normal' grow bulb, you can't flower under a blacklight solely... And as a rule of thumb, you can expect 2 oz of bud per 100 watts of light. Good luck!

Hey I have a dilemma!! Ok im going into week 8 of flowering and my leaves are yellowing and dying off. I have been told that this is common due to the lack of nitogen. Is this correct? The leaves are also getting crispy before they fall off. Is this normal. Almost all my fan leaves are gone off of my biggest lady so will she be able to photosynthesize????????/:eyesmoke::blsmoke:

i make hash oil out of my males, they have a higher potency around week 5 or 6 so thats the best time to take them for use in the kitchen.

this is normal, you should have healthy growth around your actual buds that are using all the energy the need with the leaves they have. the plant used all the energy it had stored in those leaves and now it has no use for them.

Can i use a 1000 hps light during my veggie cycle?
yes and through floweing if youd like.

i wouldnt exactly reccomend throwiing seedlings or clones directly under them as they might have shock from the intnsity. ease them in with some flouro tubes and then keep the light raised high and slowly lower the hps daily till you get it at your desired level in your veg room.

high temps in your grow room can cause more problems that meet the eye. one of the more important factors to donsider is that your soil dries out faster, which will lower the ph of the soil around your roots as moisture evaportates. This can lead to such problems as salt buildups,or eventually nutrient lockout. In the DIY section there is a great article on cooltubes. relatively cheap and do wonders to stabalizing the tepms in your grow room
 
I make honey oil at least once or twice a week. I am about 98% sure you won't get anything, male plants don't produce enough THC. And try to extract something that isn't there might become a difficult task..

Like for instance if you throw a bunch of fan leaves in there you won't get anything..

You only want to use sugar leaves or leaves cover in frost.. When I harvest, I use a trash can and a box, I throw all the fan leaves away and keep all the frosted trim and use that for oil..

I'd say toss them..











If anyone wants to learn how to make a oil extactor I will make a thread if ya'll are interested...

I have 6 plants that were growing at about 8 inches with a 400watt mh light and just thisd morning it blew..i dont have another mh light but the ballast i have is a conversion and i have a 430watt HPS light and a 1000watt HPS light...i have the ballast for both of them..


i was just wondering .. i am only going to be keeping my plant in veg for about 15-40 more days...then i am going to be flowering... remember i have 6 plants.. will i t make a difference which light i use??? will i get more growth from one than the other???? how far should the light be away from my plants in veg with hps light???? how far would my light need to be away from my plants in flower???

when i said ''does it make a difference which light i use'' i meant between the 430watt HPS light and the 1000watt HPS light .... NOT between mh and hps.
 
You stole half my name ...

No just kiddin', but I veg under a 600 hps from rooted clones.. My ballast just pooped on me too, But lumantec said no prob! they replaced it:mrgreen: up to 5 years too


I'd say you 1000 watt would be good for veggin at about 3 to 4 feet..
I like to keep mine about that through veg.. And in flower sometimes my buds hit the lights:neutral: But they still live and with out burns but I would have to ask you if they are air cooled because if they are you can keep them about 8 in to ft away if your fan is strong enough, But if you want to be careful general rule of thumb is put your hand under the bulb if it's really hot from your tops you'll know then higher it, but you should be good with a bat wing at 18 inches if your room stays in the low 70's
